As someone with a rare disease, I find this, along with everything else happening In our country these days, to be inhumane, disgraceful, and terrifying. For anyone who has missed all of the memos; Eugenics is back and in high gear, folks. #RareDiseaseDay

“Instead, they dealt with the diverse size and shape of firefighters — a detail that helps them properly fit into safety equipment like ventilator masks. Another document that was taken down pointed to the diverse set of situations that first responders might be working in.” #FirefighterMom 🤬

I was wondering what the deleted post was! I’m not on bsky often, but always check in on your page. As always, just like on the Adoptionland front, your advocacy and voice are badass, on point, and appreciated!

We should make @meiselasb.bsky.social and honorary Canadian...thank you, Ben & Bros for all the help you give to getting the facts out. Canadians have to do what we have to do but we have long memories when it comes to our supporters.

Current Virginia law severely limits adopted people from obtaining their OBCs and other adoption information. Adoptees must petition a court for release of the information for “good cause” or a state ...

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too. This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters. Oligarchy.

Also look into the history of eugenics and adoption. Just throwing that into the mix because… well… it fits.

Yup! @patriottakes.bsky.social would you be shocked to know that the same is true for adoption of…children? White babies cost more and are in shorter supply (hence SCOTUS’ reference to the Domestic Supply of Infants). Don’t believe me? Google it. It’s all about supply and demand. #adopteevoices

Intercountry adoptees who were eighteen years of age or older on February 27, 2001, are not able to acquire U.S. citizenship through their parents— then or now. Visit adopteesunited.org for more info and see how you can help. #adoption #adopteerights

The CCA provides automatic US citizenship for intercountry adoptees who are adopted by US citizen parents—but only if the adoptee is under the age of eighteen on a very specific date: February 27, 2001.

🧵 For folks who are wondering what’s the deal w citizenship for adopted people: The Child Citizenship Act of 2000 (the CCA) controls how an intercountry adoptee brought to the United States for adoption becomes a U.S. citizen.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

Think about this: If your child said: “I’ve had (your name) for (length of time).” Would you like that statement? Probably not. You’d, probably, find it demeaning….because it is. #NAAM #NationalAdoptionAwarenessMonth #WordsMatter #Adoption

Annette @notyourabortee.bsky.social · 15/11/2024
Adoptive and Foster Parents: Please stop using the expression “I’ve/we’ve had (child’s name) for (length of time).” “Having” something for a specific length of time represents ownership or possession: I’ve had my truck for 3 years. Stop using commodifying and dehumanizing language.
